Reviews
Dinner did run a bit later than expected, so we unfortunately did not have time for dessert since we had to head down to the pool bar for our welcome party. To be fair, we were running about 15 minutes behind schedule ourselves, and we were giving speeches, so I believe the team was being respectful and waiting to avoid interrupting us. In the end, the food was absolutely worth the wait. Everyone raved about it! We started with charcuterie boards, followed by salads and entrée choices of Wagyu steak or chicken Parmesan. Every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared.
The cost was definitely higher than anticipated, especially once alcohol was added, but the quality and service helped justify it. I would also like to mention Alison Tomaska, the Food and Beverage Outlets Sales & Catering Manager, who helped us book both our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. She was very kind and helpful throughout the planning process. I felt as though she really let us customize our menu, which was amazing! The only small issue was that her email responses could be a little slow at times, but everything came together perfectly in the end (I was also a stressed bride that wanted answers lol). Our welcome party at the pool bar was also a hit. The location was perfect and everyone had a great time. Thank you so much to the entire Cala Bella team for helping make our wedding weekend so special. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend hosting events here.
I had the Ox tail fettuccine and my wife and the wagyu lasagna. Both were divine. The staff was great with recommendations and very friendly. 10 out of 10 must try.
I started with the freshly baked bread, served warm and golden. It was so good it should come with a warning — absolutely dangerous! Crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, it paired perfectly with the olive oil and made it hard to stop eating before the main course even arrived.
Then came the star of the night — the lasagna. It was simply perfect. Layers of tender pasta, creamy béchamel, rich tomato sauce, and perfectly seasoned meat all came together in a comforting, flavorful harmony. Every bite melted in the mouth. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients and the care that went into making it — truly authentic, traditional Italian done right.
To accompany the meal, I ordered a glass of Primitivo wine from Puglia, and it was outstanding. Deep, full-bodied, and beautifully smooth, it complemented the lasagna perfectly — a pairing that felt both refined and satisfying.
The staff were exceptional — attentive, friendly, and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from the wine recommendation to the timing of each course. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch that made the evening even more enjoyable.
Overall, Cala Bella delivers on every level — amazing food, excellent wine, and first-class service. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you want to savor every moment. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a solo escape, or a place to celebrate something special, Cala Bella is an easy five-star choice. I’ll definitely be back!
